An official release said Modi shared the new look website on social media Twitter and Facebook.

"The new look website is a reflection of the prime minister's emphasis on integrating technology in governance. The government is working towards 'Digital India' that will benefit the lives of people," the release said.

It said the new site is "a repository" of news and information on the prime minister, his programmes and his speeches.

"People can write to the prime minister and share their thoughts and inputs. The website directs people to the MyGov platform: www.mygov.in for suggestions and inputs on governance," the release said.
